This paper presents a classroom experience regarding the use of
wikis in L2 collaborative writing settings. Framed in the current
post-positivist educational climate in higher education, the adoption of
wikis as a
Technology-Enhanced Language Learning
(
TELL) platform
complements and enriches the classroom-based interaction of L2 learners.
While developing solid L2 writing and self-expression skills, wikis may
be said to foster other related core abilities
–
reading and comprehension,
critical thinking, exegetic skills, integration of culture-specific elements
in foreign language learning,
and
use of new technologies, etc. In the
process of drafting culture-bound texts, the co-creating students become
aware of the weight of cultural elements in their texts in an asynchronous,
cross-cultural communication process, and they are able to bridge the
cultural divide not only through non-formal, peer-to-peer learning,
but also through empowered cross-cultural understanding in a truly
emancipating
English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
setting. [-]
